Rewrite the Technological Landscape

Chapter 84 Sell ​​dad

After having thoughts, Meng Qian will solve the first and most critical problem at the moment.

It has only been more than a year since Lin Zhijian gave a speech. If Dafeng wants to build a lithography machine by itself at this time, it will definitely be too late, and it will take one year to build the factory.

Therefore, in the previous plan, Meng Qian was thinking about how to link the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Lin Benjian, but there was a big problem in doing so, that it was difficult for him to have the right to speak, but not long ago, another thing happened. thing.

This is the second reason why he approached Liang Zhiguo and Zhu Weijun, “Thank you, Mr. Liang, for sharing this. Then let’s talk about the second thing today. I heard from Uncle Fang that the bosses of Shanghai Microelectronics Division are two good friends. friend?”

“He Wenkang is our classmate and former colleague. He came out in 1991 and founded the Shanghai Microelectronics Division with a few friends.

It is a pity that the business situation of Shanghai Microelectronics has not been very good, and the company continues to be in debt. This is why He Wenkang wants to take out the research and development of lithography machines. This thing has always been a big research and development head, but it has always I haven’t seen any gains. Of course, the most important thing is that Lao He has indeed had problems with his capital chain recently. ”

“It seems that both of you should also know about what I was rejected by Mr. He not long ago.”

Liang Zhiguo couldn’t help but smiled, “We helped you talk to Lao He on the phone. Lao He appreciates your vision, your ambitions and your attitude from the bottom of your heart. You don’t have to doubt this, but you have to treat yourself to yourself. Of employees are responsible.

The decision to launch a photolithography machine R&D factory this time is very difficult for Lao He. The most uncomfortable thing for him is not so long without results, but what should be done with the employees who have been with him for so many years.

Therefore, his biggest requirement for the people who took over is to give him the confidence to take good care of these employees. In Lao He’s opinion, there is really no relevant industry background. A game player suddenly switched to a lithography machine. Anyone who changed would find it incredible. ”

Meng Qian nodded in approval. After listening to Liang Zhiguo’s explanation, he understood why He Wenkang rejected himself. As a responsible entrepreneur, he should have a sense of responsibility to his employees, not some bosses who start a business from the beginning. I just want to quickly make the data beautiful and then sell myself and go happy, that kind of boss is low in Meng Qian’s eyes.

However, what made Meng Qian helpless is that He Wenkang is the kind of responsible and responsible entrepreneur that he likes very much, but now it is because of his responsibility and responsibility that he is in trouble.

But if Meng Qian wants to enter the game by himself, acquisition is the best and the only way before him. Again, starting from scratch, the factory has just been built, and Asim has contacted Lin Benjian, and he has paid for it. Play a fart.

But as Liang Zhiguo said, there are now very few private companies in the semiconductor industry in China, and even fewer lithography machines. They just want to sell and the factory standard meets Meng Qian’s needs. He Wenkang is the only option.

“Mr. Meng.” While Meng Qian was thinking, Liang Zhiguo glanced at his watch and said, “You have finished asking both of your questions, so is it our turn to ask questions now?”

“Of course, Mr. Liang, please speak.”

“I heard what the old said, you haven’t even saved enough money for the purchase?”

“Um…” Meng Qian nodded with a wry smile.

He did not save enough money for the acquisition, because the lithography machine R&D factory sold by He Yongkang requires 500 million yuan. However, if other conditions are suitable, he does not need to pay in a lump sum. In the last communication, He Yongkang said that at least Pay 150 million in full, and then make up 400 million within a year. The remaining 100 million can be delayed, but it is clear that Meng Qian can’t get 150 million now.

This opportunity is really precious. Meng Qian bites his head and wants to visit He Yongkang first, and at the same time get in touch with financing and loans outside.

Meng Qian said before that his plan for the past two years is to invest about 20% of the profits in research and development, so what does the remaining 80% do? It is expansion, expansion of people, expansion of the site, the expansion of the past two years is the core of Dafeng Technology Innovation, but now let alone 80% of the profit, all the profit is not enough to buy a lithography machine research and development factory, the hardware is just like that. Money stuff.

Many people may not be very clear about the concept of a 500 million lithography machine research and development factory. In fact, the polarization of the semiconductor industry is very serious. Take the more familiar fab, for example, a low-end factory. , Buy a few old-fashioned contact lithography machines, equipped with other equipment, hire a few workers, do not involve R&D, millions of people can do it, those bosses still advertise that they are fabs, but like high-end fabs, Tens of billions at every turn.

TSMC’s investment in the first phase of the Jinling fab has exceeded 20 billion, and the lithography machine factory is a little stranger to the fab. Because the future high-end lithography machine market is monopolized by Asmar, everyone does not know one. The investment in a high-end lithography machine research and development plant is probably how much. In fact, if anyone wants to do it in 2019, it will also start at tens of billions.

Because of the difficulty of lithography machine production itself, it is not simpler than chips. Again, Meng Qian knows what the next generation of light source technology is, and told the R&D personnel of lithography machines in China that they did it according to this idea. It must be done, the craftsmanship cannot support the leading technology, and the lithography machine is so difficult to do.

Therefore, although He Yongkang’s factory cannot be compared with Nikon Asmebi or domestic research institutes, it is relatively top-notch among domestic private companies, with equipment, data, employees, and even cooperation resources, even in 2001. , It is normal to sell 500 million. Of course, the subsequent R&D costs have to be calculated separately.

It is precisely this that led Liang Zhiguo to ask the next question, “Meng, we all understand your feelings and your ideals. You said that you are anxious because the sooner you do it, the easier it is to succeed. We also understand it, but you now You don’t even know where the money is, and you want to start the lithography machine so persistently. Don’t you think your behavior is a bit… strange?”

Liang Zhiguo’s question was very direct. This is also the problem that Meng Qian had to face when he was born again. That is, he knew that a major change in the lithography machine would take place next year, but they didn’t know it. In their opinion, their anxiety would be a bit inexplicable.

A young man who is patriotic and does not want the country to be pinched by the West. This can be understood, but he is too anxious. A smart person like Liang Zhiguo will definitely find it strange.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of people who don’t know the development of future generations, Meng Qian’s approach is a bit too much, a sense of crisis, or even a bit too patriotic.

After all, at this time, the United States has not strongly suppressed China, and many Chinese people still regard the United States as a lighthouse as a paradise.

Meng Qian’s brain spins quickly. He knows that he needs to give them a reason, a reason that can explain why he has done things so “excessively” a more practical and simple reason, and It’s not that the family and the country have always been righteous, it is abnormal for a person his age to be so righteous.

At this time, he can only sell some people, such as…

“Actually, this matter has something to do with my dad.” Meng Qian said in a low voice, “My dad is a precision machine tool production worker. Although he is not an engineer with core technology, he has experienced the incident where the development of precision machine tools was restricted by the United States.

My dad is a very axis and very old-fashioned person. He has been suppressed for a long, long time because of this incident. Oh no, to be precise, he has been suppressed until he leaves the world.

So from when I was very young, my dad always told me that if we don’t have the ability to develop independently, we will be restricted in the future even the right to live freely. This is terrible.

And he, an ordinary worker, worked at home all day long on how to break through the technical restrictions of the United States. This is why I have been in contact with programming since junior high school. He always said that I will do software and he will do hardware in the future. He always said One day we will not be bullied again.

It’s a pity that my dad has no chance to see the future he believes in.

Before he left, he left me with a sentence that an inch of gold is hard to buy an inch of time. Maybe in your opinion I am very anxious, but I just always remember my dad admonishing me. When the opportunity came, I tried my best. Grab it, because for Huaxia, we don’t have many opportunities. If we miss one, we may miss all of them.

Things that my dad can’t see, I wish I could see…

I want to prove that my dad is right…”

Seeing that Meng Qian’s mood was not right, Liang Zhiguo said quickly, “I’m sorry…”

Meng Qian waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, tilted his head to the sky and said, “Dad, sorry…”
